1. The Daily News reports today that former WR Lam Jones is seriously ill with cancer. It doesn't sound like his condition can get much worse or that his prognosis is good. Jones was a major disappointment as a Jet, but his current predicament is a sad one and a reminder of the fragility of the human body.

2. This week's game at Buffalo is very winnable. The Bills are among the NFL's biggest disappointments. The run defense has been terrible, and their offense has been even worse. Their supposed savior, new starting QB Kelly Holcomb, is not exactly someone headed to the Hall of Fame. They were fortunate to beat Miami at home last week.

Knowing the Jets, of course, all of this points to a heartbreaking Bills victory, probably due to a Mike Nugent field goal miss, a Vinny Testaverde ill-timed interception, and a Herm Edwards clock management fiasco.
